    SAINT JOSEPH UNIVERSITY Master’s Degree in Democratic Governance Democracy and Human Rights in the Middle East and North Africa A.Y. 2016/2017 SPONSORSHIP SYSTEM AND SYRIAN REFUGEES: PROMOTING EXPLOITATION AND ABUSE. To which extent the Kafala system can be considered ​ ​ a form of human trafficking and the increasing vulnerability of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Thesis EIUC DE.MA Author: Martina ZUCCONI Supervisor: Jihad NAMMOUR 1 ABSTRACT The overall idea of this research is to analyse the effects of the sponsorship system on Syrian ​ refugees residing in Lebanon. Through the inquiry of the Kafala system from a legal ​ definition and through the assessment of the policies, the paper will prove that this system can be assimilated to a form of human trafficking. Taking into consideration the precarious legal status of Syrian refugees and the controversial measures adopted by the General Security Forces in the last couple of years, we will analyse the new registration measures and the role of the sponsor as such. In particular, the research will take into consideration the period following the year 2014 when the government changed and adopted more restrictive measures. It will specifically focus on the new entry and residency requirements stressing on the relationship between Syrian refugees and kafeels (sponsors). ​ ​ The paper will explore the reasons behind the implementation of this system, considering the security concern, and the consequences on the livelihoods of Syrian refugees. The research will conduct an assessment on the legal status of Syrian refugees in Lebanon in light of the recent regulatory changes and argue that these measure leave many of them in a deeply precarious position.

    JAMAL AL SHALABI & TAREQ AL-ASSAD RÉSUMÉ / ABSTRACT LA PARTICIPATION POLITIQUE DES FEMMES DE JORDANIE Cet article se propose d’étudier le rôle politique des femmes en Jordanie et d’analyser ce rôle à travers diverses problématiques juri- diques, en particulier la constitution de 1952, la Charte nationale de 1990, et les conventions internationales sur les femmes, en montrant l’impact (positivement ou négativement) des changements politiques, tels que celui mis en œuvre par la « démocratisation » qui a débuté en 1989. Bien que les femmes aient occupé des postes de « ministres », de dirigeants de partis politiques ou des fonctions dans le système judi- ciaire, à différentes époques, les problèmes et les obstacles qu’elles rencontrent ainsi que leur rôle dans la vie politique, soumis aux tra- ditions et aux contraintes des lois électorales, seront mis en évidence dans cette étude. POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF JORDANIAN WOMEN This article aims to study the political role of women in Jordan and to analyse this role through various legal laws, especially the constitution of 1952, the National Charter of 1990, and international conventions on women by showing the impact (positively or negatively) of politi- cal changes, such as the “democratisation” that began in 1989 on this role. Although women have been assigned as ‘ministers’ and leaders of political parties and the judicial system, in different periods of time, the problems and obstacles faced by Jordanian women and their role in political life still exist, such as: traditions and electoral laws are still on the line, which needs to be highlighted in this study.

    Workshop 2: Institutional Reforms and Sustainable Development Narrative Report Marwa Radwan March 5-8, 2000 in Cairo, Egypt March 6, 2000 - Session One: The Need for Institutional Reforms in the MENA Region The session addressed various issues related to the reformation of the judiciary systems and the role of information data banks in assisting judges and researchers in locating the necessary information. Improvement and adaptation of new methods of managing the judiciary systems in the Arab World was one of the main topics discussed by a panel of lawyers and university professors. The panel included Mr. Wassim Harb of the Office of Informative Legal Research and Studies, Dr. Enid Hill, Professor of Political Science at the American University in Cairo and Dr. Ali Oumlil, professor at the University of Mohammed in Rabat, Morocco. Dr. Yahia El Gamal, former Minister and Professor of Constitutional law at Cairo University, served as moderator. Dr. Salim Nasr, General Director of the Lebanese Center, introduced the panel for Policy Studies in Lebanon. In his presentation titled “Improving the Administration of Justice in Arab Countries; Recent Experiences,” Dr. Wassim Harb gave a brief introduction on the history of judiciary systems in the Arab World and their evolution under the Ottoman Empire and British and French mandatory rule. He also referred to the similarities and differences among the Arab countries as far as the functioning of their judiciary systems is concerned. Similarities can be found in the steps a judgment passes through before it is finalized, primary judgment and the court of appeal and the use of what is known as specialized trials as in financial, managerial, or exceptional cases.
